We have worked with MANY developers in our line of business. Freelancers and agencies, all with varying skill sets (and work ethics!) We came to Happen with an existing incredibly complex and quite unique site, to enhance various aspects that would enable our business to offer more to our users. The changes required were site wide, and required some serious tweaks to a database that is utilised not only on multiple pages, but multiple sites too. The brief – 'make it work, and try not to break anything in the process'. Usually what ensues from that point is a series of sleepless nights, indigestion, worry, apologies and general misery as you battle back and forth explaining things that you thought everyone already understood at the start of the project, whilst fixing major problems that are triggered by all the changes made. In the case of Happen, it is the development house equivalent of a Luxury Spa. Relax as the team help outline the functional spec, no task is too much, no detail too small. Delivery is exactly as planned, testing becomes an operation of 'confirmation I like it' rather than 'I wonder if it works and what else is now broken' and before you know it, changes are going live, everyone has a smile on their face, and you're almost wishing it could have lasted longer!
